How do you ripen green pears?

In: Individual Ingredients, Cooking Tips and Tricks

Answer

Green pears can be put in a paper bag to ripen quickly but check them daily to make sure they don't get too ripe. Pears can also be left in a bowl on a countertop and they'll ripen a little slower than in a bag but they're handier for a visual check.
